    Sounds like Charles is crossing the line on and off the air.

    Hey, hold on there, I was born in Atlanta. The South in general has a lot of overweight people, not just Atlanta.
    I had an ambulance driver this morning tell me that he couldn't wait to get out of Houston and into Portland Oregon for a few reasons:
    Too many fat people;
    Everything was gray because there was concrete everywhere and nothing green;
    Way too hot;
    Too many power outages.
    All I can say is Aldridge deserves to live in Houston.

    but wait. You dont hold this stance in here. Remember telling me that some people here who was going around insulting others was just a joke. Remember?


    So which is it? Its okay to go into forums and make insulting jokes, but not on tv?

    is that the line? Forums are okay but tv is off limits? How about podcasts?

    just trying to figure out where these goal posts are that keep changing since you so adamantly defended someone who would continue to insult others who asked him to stop in this forum.
    Im just trying to understand because obviously ive failed in the past…

    sure seems like a very double standard stance compared to past comments.
    Maybe im missing something? I do miss alot….

    Charles Barkley is the one and only Charles Barkley. He says what he needs to.

    Life just isn't worth living if you can't insult women.

    That's one of the things I never do except when my wife is with me, we're driving somewhere and have a problem with a woman driver. She just waits for some man to do something stupid when driving near us and says something derogatory about men drivers and thus I am taught a repeated lesson. Of course, this just reinforces her opinion that I never learn also that I never listen to her. My only way out is the expression that every newly wedded man must learn and learn quickly, "Yes, dear."

    If anything I have said insults Christians I would be interested to hear what it is. And I would apologize in that case.

    Criticism is not insult. And I never killed anyone who didn't share my atheist views.
    Anyone want to ridicule my atheism I will respond. With words.

    You claimed that Charles said that his employer shouldn’t have any say over how he does his work. He did not. Your claim is without merit.

    Go ahead, I can take it.
    I was firm a child and then I took decades to reach my present firm conviction. I'm comfortable with it no matter what others may think. I just wish they could see what I see however being pushy about it is counterproductive so I know when to say something and when not to and this is the most productive way.

    Dude, I used to live in Georgia. I swear, 10 miles outside the 285 perimeter, teeth begin to fall out, the weight goes on, and you can hear banjos playing in the woods.

    Oh, and the family trees look like telephone poles.

    I think you are being a bit of a literalist and thus missing the point.

    Yes, it is true that Charles did not explicitly say that his employer should not have any say over how he does his work.
    However, that is effectively his complaint - he wants to be allowed to say whatever he wants, and his primary job function is to say things.
